I started reading Nick Pope's "Open Skies, Closed Minds" and, to my surprise, I really like it. I'm not learning anything fundamentally new, but I like Pope's sensibility -- which is totally at odds with the American paperback edition's sensationalistic cover. I generally like British books on the paranormal; Colin Wilson's "Alien Dawn" and John Michell's "The Flying Saucer Vision" are a couple good examples. Way too often, American UFO books are humorless and stilted, steeped in the same tired arguments and biases.
